Oporów (Polish pronunciation: [ɔˈpɔruf], German: Opperau, [ˈɔpɛʁaʊ]) is a district in Wrocław located in the south-western part of the city. It was established in the territory of the former Fabryczna district.
Initially a village, the settlement was incorporated into Wrocław in 1951.[2]
History
Oporów was established as a village in 1211 within medieval Poland. At the start of the 20th century, Opperau was transformed into a villa estate. Its peak was in the 1930s when wealthy Breslau (Wrocław) residents constructed villas for themselves. During the war, a school and a Catholic church were established.[3]
After the war, professors from Wrocław universities settled in Oporów, giving it a unique and elite atmosphere.[3]
Oporów was incorporated into Wrocław in 1951, and in 1991, after reforms in the administrative division of Wrocław, it became one of the city's 48 districts.[4]
